Following is a response from DHS Chief of Data Processing, Guillermo Rojas:

Sex ratios are calculated using the BR file (births). The following variables are used in the calculation:

• B2 - Year of birth
• B4 - Sex
• B5 Living status

After counting the number of girls and boys, the ratio is calculated by dividing the number of girls by the number of boys and multiplying by 1000.
